Finally got some time over the weekend to get shocks and struts on the 128i. I had previously swapped from the stock base model springs to Eibachs, and tried to save a few bucks by going with Sachs sport model struts. Well, even though the Eibachs are advertised as being compatible with the sport model struts, they are not. The car was bouncy and got upset really easily.
So, that effort to save money just cost me $400 and made me do a full shock/strut swap twice. At least now I'm getting pretty good at it. Got a full set of Bilstein B8s to replace the Sachs.

The car still needs a paint correction and a good interior detail, and I'd like to install an LSD from Diffsonline. But with an alignment, I should be basically done with this project for now.
